RULE 5 / SCORING AND TIMING REGULATIONS
Art. 20. The team that requests a timeout may shorten that timeout when the
captain/head coach notifies the official of the team’s intent.
a. When a request has been made to shorten any timeout for a purpose
other than for substitution(s), a warning horn shall be sounded
immediately and 15 seconds later another signal shall be sounded to
resume play.
b. When a request is made to shorten any timeout for a substitution(s),
the signal for shortening a timeout shall be given and play shall be
resumed immediately.
Generally speaking if the coach calls a T/O just for substitution purposes you give the appropriate signal to let partners, players, table, & coaches know that we are having a shortened T/O for subs. Then as soon as the subs are in and players are out were playing on.
If while these subs are leaving and others report to come in, you would still bring them in. As soon as the players are off your hitting your whistle and handing the ball to the thrower.
Usually when the subs are @ the table and the coach calls a T/O just for subs and we give the signal the players stay where they are, you bring the subs in, players go out, and as soon as they are off the floor your hitting your whistle.
It tends to be so fast that there really isn't a opportunity to bring in any other subs.
